Agree and disagree with this statement.   I started out with headphones awhile ago. After awhile, I got into speakers and building my own speakers + woodworking, and it's the best thing ever. I only go to my headphones when I'm not allowed to listen to my speakers.   If we're talking...

Quote:   If you want a detailed response, go ahead and read one of my threads I started recently about "natural" sounds and how the 8400s do a good job of reproducing them.

Quote: Having both, you're not going to regret getting the 8400s. They have tremendously more detail than the 598s, and you'll be able to hear the drums and cymbals clearly. It'll show you what "flat" really sounds like, and I sometimes can't listen to the 598s after listening to the 8400s...

Quote:   I second this statement. They are extremely accurate and neutral, producing sound the way it was recorded. You can even find them as cheap as 100-110 easily online.

Quote:   I definitely second this statement. Braiding the cord definitely helps a lot if you don't need the extra length, and you can find YouTube tutorials online on how to do it. It's super easy and convenient!

Thanks. I definitely agree with the headband part. There's such a big gap, but it's not too big of a deal since I don't wear it out, but I wish they did conform to my head a lot better. Quote:   Quote:   Thanks for the response! I think I'll get a chance to audition the K701...

When I first got these awhile ago, I felt that the sound was thin and treble was harsh, but I was in love with the amount of detail and clarity. After listening to them for awhile and going to a lot of live events like classical concerts, I learned to appreciate these headphones a LOT more, it's...

Quote:   Your comment got me switching over to my jazz recordings. The feeling I get when listening to jazz recordings on the 8400s is as if I'm at a jazz club. Listening to some Hiromi right now, and that's exactly what it sounds like. It's not engaging in your face, but it's just there...

Quote:   Definitely agree on the isolation. I also have a roommate, and the isolation is pretty good. It's also not fatiguing, so I can wear them for a long time without my head hurting from the music. Quote: I've been trying awhile to get the K501s, but not much luck.  ...

I'm going to try to keep everything short and to the point.   Background : I am a heavy classical listener, attend numerous concerts throughout the year, and listen to classical music pretty much single day for hours.   My head fi experience - I got into headphones few months ago, and I...

  Here's one of my bikes. Scott Speedster S50 2010.

Did you check out the Sennheiser HD598 or HD650? They're very comfortable.

There's a huge guide to gaming headphones in our forum. If you google search head fi gaming headphones, it should come up.

Quote: I don't know the bass impact on the k701s and srh940s, but I felt that the bass impact was very minimal and almost non existent on the 6400s, but maybe it could've just been me. I switched to the 8400s, and they were there like it should have been. I'm not a bass freak, and I'm very...

Quote: ^ Great stuff. I have the entire Rubinstein Complete Collection :)   Dvorak Symphony Number 9, Solti - Chicago Symphony Orchestra. (My favorite recording of all time for this piece).
